Leveraging Viscosity to Unlock the Osteogenic Potential of BMP‐2 Mimetic DWIVA Dynamic interfaces based on supported lipid bilayers demonstrate that the osteogenic potential of the BMP-2 mimetic DWIVA can be harnessed by modulating substrate viscosity. This work highlights that....

Love this tenement entrance on North Gardner Street in Glasgow. It somehow manages to be simple, stylish, and rather monumental all at the same time. And of course, it has a traditional green door and ironwork.

Impact of continuous testosterone exposure on reproductive physiology, activity, and pain-related behavior in young adult female rats Testosterone may reduce pain in cisgender women and transgender men. Rodents can provide a useful model for investigating physiological effects of hor…

Giving female rats testosterone at male-like levels helped them bounce back faster after surgery, but it didn't actually make them experience less pain. Testosterone boosted recovery, not pain resistance! #sabv #ossd #sexdifferences #humanhealth www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

JAMA article "When Words Disappear—How Banning Words Imperils Health Care Communication" by Nupur Agrawal, MD, MPH; Keith C. Norris, MD, PhD. Published online December 10, 2025. Article discusses banning certain words in healthcare.

💬 Viewpoint: Federal bans on terms related to diversity, equity, and inclusion limit effective patient-clinician communication, impede health care research, and challenge the delivery of patient-centered care.

Experiment timeline of (A), the osteochondral explants; timeline of the irradiation (IR), hyperphysiological mechanical loading (ML), and combination (IR + ML) models. Bone and cartilage were separated for gene expression analysis. Before separation, cross-sections were taken for histology. (B) The high-throughput human in vitro cartilage organoids; timeline of the IR and harvest of the human in vitro mini cartilage organoid model. Complete pellets were taken for gene expression analysis and histology. Created with BioRender.com.
